I'm sad to hear of Ralph's passing. I've known his family for years & have tons of respect for all of them. He was a great person & great neighbor. The finest kind of person. My condolences to his family.

Dear Jackie, Johnny, Joey and Jim, your father was such a kind and gentle guy! I too remember so many great memories on Sunday afternoons at Uncle Doug and Auntie Mimi's house. I was especially happy to talk with your mother, what a hot ticket she was. Your Dad and Mom were so devoted to each other, and I'm sure in each other's arms again.
Please know that all the d'Entremont Family are praying for you, God Bless!
Richard, Lillian, Denise, Patty, Richie and Paul.
